Tea Party and Pajama Party

On Friday and Saturday nights of PUDDLE, we hang out together to relax and chat with friends old and new. There is often some informal buying, selling, and trading. Friday night will take place in the small event room off the ballroom; Saturday night will take place in the hotel lobby.

Customization Contest · Guidelines
